- StarsCarolina RamírezMark TacherAlejandra BorreroRosario Guerrero is a mariachi, a singer of traditional Mexican music (rancheras), who works at the popular Bar Garibaldi in Bogota, Colombia. One night she finds Emiliano Sanchez-Gallardo at the door of the Bar in a fragile state after being mugged and robbed of all his money, credit cards and all forms of ID, including his Mexican passport. She decides to help him without knowing that Emiliano is a wealthy Mexican that has arrived in Colombia as a fugitive of the law, falsely accused of a mayor crime, and that he is giving her a false name and ficticious background. Instantly attracted to each other, their friendship will face formidable challenges and transform their lives forever. The storyline explores lessons in life for both Emiliano and Rosario. Emiliano is astounded to receive Rosario's generous help despite her obvious poverty and the fact that she does not know who Emiliano really is. Thanks to her, Emiliano, who is blessed with a beautiful singing voice, manages to survive as a singer at Bar Garibaldi, while evading the assiduous hunt mounted by the Interpol, and the Mexican and Colombian police forces. Foremost, he discovers through the mariachi world in Colombia, his own Mexican roots and culture, which have an extensive presence in Colombia. He also finds himself falling inexorably in love with Rosario, a woman who he would never have considered in his previous life, and who now will become the great love of his life. Rosario also finds true love with Emiliano. Through him, she also manages to accept and understand her late father, who was killed while in frivolous pursuit of a woman other than his wife, Rosario's mother. The happiest and saddest moments in Rosario's life are connected to the memory of her father, a mariachi singer, romantic and passionate, given to heavy drinking and womanizing. Her father's death left Rosario, her sick mother, and younger sister almost destitute and forced Rosario to start work as a singer at an early age to support her family. Trying to overcome the memory of a dysfunctional childhood, Rosario studies Business Administration part time at a local public university in hopes of bettering the economic circumstances of her family. Despite her painful memories, Rosario maintains a romantic image of her father and preserves his magnificent mariachi suit enshrined as a relic in a glass case. A suit without owner, Rosario's longing for her father fades when she falls in love with Emiliano and lends him the beautiful suit to sing at Bar Garibaldi. Handsome, wealthy and arrogant Emiliano Sanchez-Gallardo, member of one of the most powerful and aristocratic families in Mexico, never imagined that he would end up as a mariachi singer in a Mexican bar of mediocre category in Bogota, Colombia. When he first fled from Mexico, he expected that his situation would be straightened out within a few short weeks, so he did not feel compelled to tell Rosario the truth about himself and his circumstances. But the problem is not only extremely serious, but gets worse as the months roll by. Betrayed by his partners and his own Mexican lawyer, and suspected by his own family of being guilty of money laundering and association with organized crime, Emiliano, left to his own devices, must transform himself into a poor Colombian mariachi and survive on a minimum wage. Besides the stress of pretending to be someone else at all times, and the distress of coping with the collapse of his family and his life in Mexico, Emiliano must learn to master his lack of humility, withstand the ferocious opposition of his rivals and the harassment of predatory women who are intent on separating him from Rosario. Above all, he must adapt and learn a profound lesson in life as viewed from the bottom up. Rosario also learns to stand strong by her man, despite the many powerful forces aligned against them. Together, Emiliano and Rosario will learn to overcome all obstacles, no matter how formidable, through their total commitment to each other's unconditional love.

Leticia arrived with her entire family, her three children and her husband, Miguel Tirado, Rossy's first and only love. Seeing him, the memories of pain and betrayal returned, but also the feelings that he had kept in his heart for so many years reappeared, he understood that life was giving him the opportunity to collect all the blows received and that it was time to recover the lost love twenty three years ago.

The colonial house of the Venetian hacienda had become the country hotel "Bosques de Venecia" and the Romero family managed the prosperous business with dedication and dedication.

- StarsRobinson DíazDiego CadavidAlejandra MirandaIt begins in the middle 30's in a town near Bogotá, Colombia. Tomás Manrique, his wife Josefina and his little son Pedro, had to take a train and leave that town as soon as a war conflict started in the area. When they arrived to Bogota, a man called Pascual became their friend, and got a hotel for them to stay. When Tomás and Pascual got closer friends, Pascual robbed them. But when Tomás found it out, and went to reclaim his money, Pascual introduced him into an easy-life world, into dirty businesses and crime. In that very moment, Tomás damned the whole 5 next generations of the Manrique family. He damned them to suffer and made their lives a hell. Ten years later, Pedro met Marlene, a nurse, and fell in love with her. Pascual was having money troubles with Tomás, suspecting that he was taking advantages of their businesses and "gaining" more money than him, so he killed him. Pedro found this out, and killed Pascual the day of his own wedding with Marlene. But before Pascual died, he said: "I curse you, Pedro Manrique. I curse you, and your sons, and the sons of your sons. All their lives will be a such a hell, than the only rest they'll have, will be death". With the help of a medium called Magnolia, Pedro found out that in a far future, his sons Armando and Antonio would have serious troubles and that one would kill the other. So Pedro knew that the only way to save his family from the curse, was love. The next generations, in 1970's, 80's, 2000, 2005, and 2006, had a very sad history: betrayals, loves, murders, and most of all, all the stories involved with dirty businesses. The Manriques: a family damned to suffer.
